A Bobbydazzler
Tuesday, gloomy and mild around the estate. School run completed in (near) silence. A studious silence now, so I had better do something with it. Hello bloggers and a merry day to you all.
I can happily report that "Hugo", the new Martin Scorsese film is wonderful. Sir Ben Kingsley will be on the show soon (recording today) and it is a thing of 3D wonder. I'm not sure it's as much of a children's film as the poster implies, but a family film certainly. The boy in it, Asa Butterfield, will have you charmed from the off. Gather the grumpy hordes, stump up for the inflated 3D prices and enjoy. My esteemed colleague in filmdom Mark Kermode is, as you might know, somewhat of a 3D sceptic and I am yet to discern his thoughts on this one (even though he was sitting next to me) but I think it's a 3D film for those who don't like 3D. For this film at least, there is a point to it, it isn't just a fairground ride. So there.
Anyway it is nearly show time (no it isn't) and thoughts turn to our musical guest, the delightful Caro Emerald. Her album "Deleted Scenes from the Cutting Room Floor" has released enough tracks to keep us in jazz/samba/salsa tunes for many months. You might have seen/heard her at the Hyde Park gig in September and if not, then tonight's the night.
And (in a desperate attempt to avoid the gloomy headlines) with EMERALDS in mind, how about PRECIOUS STONES, GEMS AND JEWELS for the oldies. Whichever take your fancy really.
Have a sparkly and glam Tuesday (well there's always a first). See you after 5.

Call of the search... I'm here! ;)
No oldie suggestions from me, but I would like to hear...
DIAMOND'S ON THE SOLES OF HER SHOES - PAUL SIMON
SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND - PINK FLOYD
That'd be super, smashing and great :D (Yes, I have been watching Bullseye reruns on Challenge with the mister)
Florence - (from yesterday's blog) Thanks for the Gary Numan info, I'm a bit dubious about that listing because of the lack of photo and vague description, but I am watching 2 other ones, ready to swoop in with a (hopefully) winning bid.
On the friendly nature of this blog - I frequent a few on-line forums, and this blog definitely ranks top of the courtesy and friendliness league :) There may have been a few minor disagreements, but this blog seems to have attracted a better class of blogger. Maybe that says something about the kind of discerning listener that Simon's show attracts? I'm just glad to be a part of it anyway :)
